Elon Musk accused Vice President Kamala Harris of wanting to make humanity extinct.
The SpaceX and Tesla boss has defended Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance after the senator drew widespread criticism for his comments about “childless cat ladies.”
“Shamala is an extinctionist,” Musk wrote on his social media site X, formerly Twitter. “The natural extension of her philosophy would be a de facto holocaust for all of humanity!”
The action was in response to Vance’s tweet criticizing a clip in which Harris claimed that young people are worried about having children because they are concerned about the future of the climate crisis.
“I’ve heard young leaders talk to me about a term they coined, which is climate anxiety, right?” Harris said in a resurfaced video. “That’s anxiety about the future and the unknown of whether it even makes sense to think about having children.”

Vance suggested liberals don’t want more children after he shared an old video of Vice President Kamala Harris claiming “climate anxiety” is causing people to have fewer children
Vance, who was Trump’s vice presidential nominee at the Republican National Convention this month, responded to the clip with, “It’s like these people don’t want young people to have families or something.”
“Very strange things,” he added.
Musk claimed that Harris and other radicals want to wipe humanity off the face of the earth completely.
“Shamala is an extinction,” the billionaire wrote on X.
“The natural continuation of her philosophy would be a de facto holocaust for all humanity!”
Vance has been defending himself all week after comments he made in 2021 against former Fox News host Tucker Carlson resurfaced and went viral.
Vance said in a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson that the US is run by Democratic “childless cat ladies who are unhappy with their own lives and the choices they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country unhappy too”
Vance said in that interview that the United States is governed by Democratic “childless cat ladies who are unhappy with their own lives and the choices they’ve made and who want to make the rest of the country unhappy too.”
“How is it possible that we hand over our country to people who actually have no direct interest in it?” he added.
Vance stressed in the week after the comments resurfaced that he holds no grudge against people who don’t have children — especially since those who were unable to have children have spoken out about the offensive comment.
